Sinner wins again, it is just what he does.
The world number one was showing why he sits top of the tennis food chain, barely a week after claiming the ATP Finals title on home soil in Turin.
He had a favourable matchup against de Minaur, the world number nine needing to win for the first time in nine meetings with Sinner to keep Australia alive.
Sadly for ‘the Demon’ and Australia, Sinner was at his optimal level and broke at the first time of asking. His unbeatable forehand shook the ground and invigorated the crowd, who worshipped his every move as the 23-year-old stormed ahead.
It is hard for anyone to compete against Sinner when he is in this red-hot form, in a year in which he has been practically unstoppable with two Grand Slam titles.
Whether it was his 18 winners proving insurmountable for de Minaur, or Sinner’s 75% success rate at the net, he was no match for the Australians who are sent packing after reaching the last two finals.
Sinner has already had an outstanding year, and if he helps Italy defend their Davis Cup and win the nation’s third title, it will add another cherry to the cake in the world number one’s unrivalled season.
